ONFIGURATION

To set the dip switches, refer to the graphic below. Only dip switches 1-5 set

the main configuration. The 6

th

dip switch changes between Front/Aux camera mode(OFF/0), and Blind Spot/Cargo camera mode(ON/1).

DIP Switches must be set before installation for module to work properly. Failure to do so may result in unintended consequences.

Use the dip switch configuration guide to set the first five switches to the corresponding profile, setting them from left to right with 1 meaning ON and 0 meaning off. The 6 th

dip switch is only used for Front/Auxiliary cam functions. More information on

Front/Auxiliary camera functions can be found in section 4 of this guide.

Important Note:

If you are not installing a Front or Side-view camera, ensure Dip Switch # 6 is set to 0.

Failure to do this may cause the radio screen to go blank when the turn signal is activated on certain vehicles.

Refer to this section for basic installation techniques. Refer to the specific section of this guide based on the configuration for your individual install.

Step 1: Install vehicle specific T-Harness:

Power vehicle down and disconnect negative battery terminal. Remove dash assembly to gain access to radio/display interface. Disconnect factory display or radio and install the corresponding vehicle specific T-harness.

Step 2: Install module on T-Harness:

Harnesses will come with adapters to be compatible with previous generation products. You will not use these adapters in this install with the ARC-357 module. Remove 6-pin to 4-pin adapter from T-Harness.

Connect 6-pin connector on T-harness directly to module.

Step 3: Install ARC-ACC357 Harness (If applicable):

ARC-ACC357 is used for camera related installs. If this harness was provided, connect it to the 14-pin connector on the ARC-357 module. This harness will allow you to connect two video sources and one video output. Connect the RCA connectors based on your desired configuration of camera(s).

INSTALLATION MANUAL – ARC357 – WWW.ARC12VOLT.COM

Step 4: Connect camera power (If applicable):

The ARC-ACC357 provides one 4 amp accessory output for powering camera(s). Use this output to power your camera(s), not the reverse output as this may cause issues with camera delay.

Step 5: Finish accessory installation

Make sure all cameras used with this system are connected to the appropriate RCA connections and power connections. Reconnect battery at this time.

Step 6: Proceed to vehicle specific section

Using the configuration guide, proceed to the profile-specific section of this installation manual to complete the installation.

Step 2: Programming procedure

1. Verify correct module DIP switch configuration (See Page 1).

2. With module connected to vehicle specific T-Harness, and display connected, power vehicle on to IGN (Do not start vehicle).

3. With vehicle ignition turned on and radio display on and connected, connect the two jumper wires together. This will initiate the programming procedure.

4. Within 10 seconds radio display should display “Diagnostics mode” and shut off. Radio display will turn back on, and should shut off one more time. Once radio and display have shut down twice and came back on, programming is complete. The entire process should take less than two minutes.

5. If the programming does not work successfully, disconnect module power, verify the

DIP switch settings, reconnect module, turn the vehicle off and then on again, and try again.

6. Disconnect and isolate the jumper wires to prevent accidental programming.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW STEP 6 COULD RESULT IN DISPLAY RESETTING EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS POWERED ON

Step 3: Verify operation

Your display should now be programmed to accept a backup camera. To test this feature your backup camera must be connected to the RCA connection and power. Start the vehicle and place the vehicle in reverse with your foot firmly on the brake. The display should switch to the backup camera at this time. If it does not, please see the next step.

Step 4: Troubleshooting

If vehicle is placed in reverse and display reads “Camera Not Available”, programming was successful, but the display is not getting a video signal. This can be caused by any of the following:

1. Backup camera is not connected

2. Backup camera is not powered on (Test for battery voltage with the car on)

3. Display is not compatible with a camera (see compatibility guide)

4. Video inputs are not routed correctly to be used with a rear camera (see section 4.1)

INSTALLATION MANUAL – ARC357 – WWW.ARC12VOLT.COM

Ford 4” Screen important notes :

 If Camera is tested before camera is powered and connected, system must be fully shut down and turned back on before camera will work again.

 Depending on vehicle configuration, display may stay in reverse camera mode until vehicle is driven to a pre-determined speed. This is a factory function.

 Some displays will show a magnifying glass (zoom) icon on the display. This is meant to be used with an OEM Camera with zoom function. It is not compatible with any aftermarket cameras and cannot be disabled.

Unprogramming/Reset to factory

This module can be used to return the vehicle to factory in the case the customer wants it uninstalled. Once this is complete the module can then be used on another VIN. Until the unprogram routine is run, the module is locked to the VIN of the vehicle it is currently installed in.

To unprogram the vehicle, disconnect the module, set the DIP switches to the corresponding “Unprogram” profile, reconnect the module and wait for the display to reset twice the same as in the programming procedure.

3.1A:

MyFord Camera with Zoom Button Output

This mode is identical to Config #2, but the “Reverse Output” purple wire will now offer a

12V+ Output when the OEM “Zoom” button is pressed on the display/button panel. This will work whether the display is equipped with a factory “zoom” button or not.

This mode will only work with an aftermarket camera with a manually activated zoom function. May require a relay for installation using ground-switched cameras.
